Tips how to make the most of your visit
Some recommendations how to make your visit to this beach easier: first of all, decide how you are going to arrive there. If you are going by car, you must reserve in advance at the website of Xunta de Galicia to have a permission to enter the beach. It is free but you must do it because they restrict the number of people who enter it per day, to protect the environment. So I suppose you must reserve weeks in advance. If you want to be more flexible, you can go by bus. For this, no reservation is necessary. There is a bus leaving from Ribadeo tourist office, costs 1.5 Euro per person (keep your bus ticket because it will be your permission, they check it at the entrance). Very practical. There is timetable online. It is not very often but it does its job. If you want to come back by taxi, it costs 16 euro. Secondly, you must check the tides timetable. It was adviced to me that the best time is 30 minutes before the official low tide, so you can check the beach. If you come a lot before or a lot of time after the low tide time, the beach will be very short, you will have to "swim" to the famous rock formations instead of walking through them. The beach is really nice and even though it was full, there was space for everyone. I enjoyed it and the water is not so cold as in A Coruna or Islas Cies. Very enjoyable! I recommend.

Must visit
We stayed in Ribadeo for visiting this wonder! It is stunning to say the least! We went by late evening and the sky was slightly overcast, so the crowd was less. Worth a visit. Got soaking wet as the waves lashed against the rocks, but no complains! Be careful while walking around.
